Unctis falciferi senis diebus,
Regnator quibus imperat fritillus,
Versu ludere non laborioso
Permittis, puto, pilleata Roma.
Risisti; licet ergo, non vetamur.
Pallentes procul hinc abite curae;
Quidquid venerit obvium, loquamur
Morosa sine cogitatione.
Misce dimidios, puer, trientes,
Quales Pythagoras dabat Neroni,
Misce, Dindyme, sed frequentiores:
Possum nil ego sobrius; bibenti
Succurrent mihi quindecim poetae.
Da nunc basia, sed Catulliana:
Quae si tot fuerint, quot ille dixit,
Donabo tibi Passerem Catulli.
